Report: IDF in Iraq
By MARGOT DUDKEVITCH
Israeli special forces are operating inside western Iraq to locate missile
launchers that could be used against Israel, according to a report in the
recent issue of Jane's Foreign Report. Israeli officials refused to comment
on the report.
According to the report, the elite General Staff Reconnaissance Unit was
ordered to scout out and "find and identify places used by or likely to be
used by Iraqi Scud missiles."
The newsletter stated that "neither Israel nor the US has a clue about what,
if anything, Saddam Hussein is hiding," and claimed it was this "ignorance"
that prompted Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to assign the elite commando unit
to carry out the job.
The report stated that the Israeli operation was being carried out without
the knowledge of the US, a fact that could raise tensions particularly at
such a sensitive period, when the US is attempting to garner support for an
offensive against Iraq in the Arab world.
Quoting Israeli sources, the report also claims that Israel is concerned
that Iraq may employ kamikaze-style pilots to attack targets inside Israel
using the methods deployed by Japan against the US troops in World War II.
The article also claimed that Israel had struck a secret agreement with
Jordan whereby if necessary Israel will be permitted to use Jordanian air
space.
